                  HONORING CHRISTOPHER MERIWETHER DEMM

  (Mr. McDOWELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McDOWELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Christopher Meriwether 
Demm as he prepares to retire later this month.
  A true legend of his craft, morning talk radio will never be the 
same.
  Chris Demm of the ``2 Guys Named Chris'' show has been a fixture on 
radios across my district for the better part of three decades.
  To the loyal P1s who listened to him every day, he is more than just 
a morning show host. He is a trusted source for a solid deep cut. He is 
a reliable bet for a laugh. He is the Michael Jordan of rock-and-roll 
trivia and the king of thoughtful interview questions.
  Every morning thousands of people across North Carolina start their 
day listening to Chris Demm: people on job sites, folks on their 
morning commute to the office, or kids who got their start, like me, 
listening with my dad in the car on the way to school.
  Mr. Speaker, while we prepare for our mornings to sound a little 
different, I speak on behalf of thousands of listeners in saying thank 
you to Chris for 27 years. We all enjoyed it. I extend congratulations 
to Chris on his retirement. His poor back has earned it by carrying 
Chris Kelly for all of these years.
